VA Disability Chart: the combined ratings table and calculator
VA does not add disability ratings, it combines them. This is the chart VA uses to do it (Table I, 38 CFR 4.25), a calculator that runs the same math including the bilateral factor, and the 2026 pay chart that turns the final rating into a monthly amount.
Enter each service-connected rating. Tick Bilateral for a rating on one side of a pair (an arm, a leg, or paired skeletal muscles) when the other side is also rated: the calculator applies the 38 CFR 4.26 bilateral factor, including the rule that leaves a rating out of the factor when that pays better. Ratings of 0% do not change the math and can be left out.

Why 50% + 30% is 70%, not 80%
VA rates the whole person. A 50% disability leaves you 50% efficient; a second 30% disability takes 30% of what is left (15 points), not 30 points. 50 + 15 is a combined value of 65, and VA rounds that once, at the end, to 70%. The regulation's own example works exactly this way, and so does the calculator above. The full reasoning, with more worked examples, is in how VA math works.
The three pieces
The complete Table I from 38 CFR 4.25: every combined value from 19 to 94 against every second rating from 10 to 90, exactly as published.
Every 2026 monthly rate by rating and dependent status, effective December 1, 2025, including the added amounts for extra children and a spouse receiving Aid and Attendance.
The 10% bonus for paired arms, legs, and muscles under 38 CFR 4.26, when it applies, and the 2023 rule that keeps it from ever lowering your rating.
